How the E-Gates Help Travelers

The AI-powered e-gates are designed to make the airport faster, safer, and more efficient. These smart gates will:

• Reduce waiting time for passengers

• Speed up security checks

• Help around 175,000 travelers daily

The e-gates are placed in Terminal 1 and the Executive Office areas. Each e-gate can process 2,500 passengers per day, making the process quick and paperless.

Facial Recognition for Faster Security Checks

The e-gates come with advanced technology like biometric verification and facial recognition. This means passengers do not need to show documents manually while passing through security. This new system will make the process much faster than before.

Jeddah is the Third Major Airport to Get E-Gates

Before Jeddah, e-gates were already set up at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Neom Bay Airport. This makes Jeddah the third major airport in Saudi Arabia to get this high-tech system.

Jeddah Airport’s Growing Popularity

In 2024, King Abdulaziz International Airport welcomed 49.1 million passengers and handled 278,000 flights. It is a key airport for people traveling for business, tourism, and religious pilgrimages like Hajj and Umrah.

With these new e-gates, traveling through Jeddah Airport will now be faster, safer, and more comfortable for millions of passengers.
